Mazagón

We said goodbye to Portugal for a while as our first sail of 2025 took us from Villa Real to Huelva. Or at least so we thought.

It was a very nice smooth sail almost all the way up to the end. Just before we were about to turn the corner and sail into the harbor the wind died. We turned Perky on and smoothly went into the harbor area. Suddenly the wind picked up to 19kts dead ahead. This way it would take us another 3 hours to get to Huelva. Not feeling like going up and down the river on the engine for about 10 miles, definitely since it was going to take us already 3 hours just one way. We turned around and went into the Marina of Mazagon.

We celebrated our first sail with a caña in the local bar de Paris and spent two days here. To wait for fairer winds and for Bart to recover a bit from his two day boat yoga retreat, I mean job🛠️Read more
